Great art Jrr

You're doing some great drawings from life with a ballpoint pen Jrr. Please review our site with a MSN browser for the very best results. The Netscape browser really displays our sites poorly and distorts everything.

I'm located at ballpointpenart@hotmail.com if you would like to communicate Jrr. My group design is plain, easy and simple. The content counts as well as the art history we produce. Do you have a site Jrr? There are three different sites or groups linked together and make up 1 1/4 million bites of information and over 700 drawings. There are also 14 different ballpoint pen artists posted.

You will see yellow, gold and brown ballpoint pen inks among other colors on our sites. I love colored ballpoint pens and the half tones they produce. Jerry

quick pictures

Greetings Vhy, Nice quick drawing of the cat. Quick drawings make up the backbone of art learning from my point of view. The mose you do the better you will get. Do them by the thousands and let the inks flow.

Colored ballpoint pen inks

Heres' a list of colored ballpoint pens for those that are into pen & ink or ballpoint pen and ink drawings. The ISO archival inks and these colored ballpoint pens list are up today. I've been searching out colored or archival inks for five years here on the Internet and produced this to help those not locating them.

Enjoy,

Jerry Stith

BallPoint Pen lines

BallPoint Pen lines

1. tips: strongest pen tips in history: largest ink reserve of any pen system

a. extra-fine: I have some drawings completed with the extra-fine tip that went out of production in 1981-82 and came in black or blue. The extra-fine ballpoint pen tip is the sharpest camera ready line in art history.

c. regular: The regular tip is also called a medium. This tip can produce a half tone plus a solid long flowing line. The line can be dark, long flowing and produce a reflection if really piled on. The medium is good for making dark areas and will certainly saturate a paper with ink.

d. bold: The bold ballpoint pen tip is another history making tip. The bold ballpoint pen tip and ink supply produces a full tone long flowing line as never before. Needless to say its the best ballpoint tip for coloring in dark areas. It also delivers more ink than any other tips therefore the refection is greater.

2. half tone lines: The ballpoint pen is the only pen system in history capable of producing a half tone line with a full tone ink. Lifting up on a pen produces a half tone and pushing down or adding pressure makes a full tone. The half tone almost never reflects or shines as thinker ink does. A half tone line is great for starting a drawing, shaping, forming or polishing up a drawing like now others! The ballpoint pens half tones are the subtlest in drawing or art history.

a. extra-fine, fine: These two tip sizes are the best for polishing a drawing or doing other sensitive areas.

3. bold lines: A ballpoint pen has a tremendous ink supply plus a remarkable long flowing line. A ballpoint produces the quickest long flowing line in art history. That quick or bold long flowing line certainly is best for capturing nature or motion in life. Its much easier for me to draw people or nature in motion with a fast moving tool or instrument.

Doing outdoor drawings or impressionism this instrument works perfect. A bold long flowing line produces life, a refreshing or colorful drawing and some very special other mediums just can’t do. Many artists on the Internet draw from a photo. Sharp or slow moving lines make up those works and certainly don’t deliver what a dark bold line does.

a. bold, regular: The bold and regular (medium) tips are best for doing full tone lines. A bold or regular tip can produce a half tone line yet thinner points work better. These two tips deliver the most ink therefore works best with darkening or filling in areas. They make the best blacks or dark colors than all other pens.

A bold tip delivers a colored full tone line or flow no others pen systems can produce. That wonderful bold flowing line is a historical event. Its a flow never seen before in pen’s four thousand plus years of history. A ballpoint pen sells by the billion because of that nice flowing line.

4. black & white: The ballpoint pen first arrived in black. Blue was the second ink then I think red came along. Black and blue were for writing and red for accounting. I used pencils for five years before a ballpoint. I learned what black and white was all about plus how to draw with a pencil. I however went to a ballpoint pen ink for quicker, cleaner and darker lines. A stacked black ink will shine and most likely out last all colored inks.

5. multi-colored: The ballpoint pen delivers a full or half tone colored line without changing pens or inks. I can stack colors to produce the richest pen & ink drawings in history. A ballpoint puts a darker, richer or more vibrant color on a page than all other pen systems. My luscious colors far exceed a tech or dip pen ink or drawings. Those wonderful colors bring a new life to the pen & ink art movement. They also speck well of the ballpoint pen art movements!

6. mono: (one color) A mono colored ballpoint pen drawing is one color. I did more red drawings than any other ink color. I really loved doing gold ink drawings. Blue and green are two more mono colors used in the past. I need to do a mono colored drawing with each color I have. We’re recording ballpoint pen art history and every new area we can represent will build our art movements historical base.

7. blotches: Most ballpoint pens produce small blotches of ink on the top a pen’s tip when drawing quickly. Fast action with a bold tip will produce that ink build up quickest. When I work quickly or outside blotches simply add color, character and style to my drawings. Pilling on lines and color is the name of that game. Boldness and color is the more important with or without any blotches than details or refinements.

8. reflection: Oil base inks simply produce a reflection, shine, sheen or burn out spot on negatives. Remember oil paintings are the king of mediums and shine like an oil painting. Some ballpoint pen inks dry flat while others shine. This might show up when scanning or using a flash camera. Your light source will determine if there is a going to be a shine.

If the ink reflects a scanner light or flash bulb its call a burn out. Other mediums can warp a paper or reflect a flash bulb or light. Each medium has its advantages or place in history as does the ballpoint.

9. by products: When a drawing is completed prints, books, limited editions, posters, post cards or other items can be produced from such a work. The incomes of each by product is your royalties and that helps increase your originals prices.

Ballpoint Pen Art Movement

BallPoint Pen and Ink Art Movement (Biro)
Hello Ladies and Gentlemen, my name is Jerry Stith and I’m a ballpoint pen artist for the past forty-one years. In the year 2000 I established an American folk art program called Ball Point Pen Art, Ballpoint Pen Art or Ballpointpenart. I did that by purchasing the domain names ballpointpenart.net, .com, org, and us. I actually invented the topic ballpoint pen art as a domain name plus started publishing sites, video’s, slide shows, message board post among other activities.

The inventor of the ballpoint pen was Mr. John J. Load a citizen of the United States, residing at Weymonth, in the county of Norfolk and Common Wealth of Massachusetts, patented the first ballpoint pen. The first patent on a ballpoint pen was issued on 30 October, 1888, to John J Loud, registration No. 392,046.

The pen had a rotating small steel ball bearing. As with modern ballpoint pens, the ball was held in place by a socket. It was fitted with a means for supplying heavy, sticky ink to the ball. The pen proved to be too coarse for letter writing, but it could be used to mark rough surfaces, especially leather.However, the patent was commercially unexploited and another ballpoint pen device was patented by Van Vechten Riesburg in 1916. The patent lapsed without improvement renewal.

Commercial models appeared in 1895, but the first satisfactory model of a ballpoint pen was designed by two Hungarian brothers living in Argentina: Lazlo, a journalist, and George Biro, a chemist. Lazlo noticed that the type of ink used in newspaper printing dried quickly, leaving the paper dry and smudge-free. He decided to create a pen using quick-drying ink instead of India ink. The thicker ink, though, would not flow from an ordinary pen nib and Biro had to devise a new type of point. Lazlo put a tiny metal ball bearing in the tip of a pen, the success of the ballpoint pen is due to the accuracy in which the ball is ground.

A ballpoint pen can produce three unique lines that no other pen system in history have ever done. A long flowing line, dark rich colors and the subtlest camera ready art line in history. Introducing those qualities, artists and their ballpoint pen ink drawings to the world is what my American folk art program has done before one billion others worldwide. Today, I have 5,700 drawings, 153 video's completed by 800 ballpoint pen artists archived, documented, recorded and published and that is “News Worthy” or “Art History in the makings”!

The Bic Pen Company indicated that they along sold over one hundred billion ballpoint pens several years ago publicly. That makes me wonder how many ballpoint companies there are worldwide producing similar pens? It seems to me that a ballpoint pen is the greatest writing, drawing or carbon copy instrument in history. That indicates our Point Pen Art is the largest undeveloped art movement in history!

Billions of people throughout history have used a ballpoint pen yet none of their artworks are showing up in our worldwide galleries, museums, public buildings, publications or media. That Is why I Am publishing thousands of ballpoint pen drawings, illustrations, sketches, doodles, inklings, pictures or video’s by 800 International artists. Needless to say, I Am the greatest ballpoint pen publisher on the WWW or in history and I say, Let the Inks Flow plus Keep on Creating.

Ballpoint Pen virtues!
*Four thousand year pen and ink history
*Most sold art instrument in history
*Largest undeveloped art movement in history
*Longest flowing pen lines in history
*Brightest colored pen inks in history
*Subtlest camera-ready half tone lines in history
*Only oil based pen ink in history
*Strongest pen tips in history
*Best carbon copy producer in history
*Most reliable pen in history
*Produces half tone lines from a full tone ink

Some achievements I have accomplished as an artist and publisher via the WWW over the past forty-one years. I’ve completed many different styles, formats, techniques, media plus much research to advance the Ballpoint Pen & Ink art movement.

Colored BallPoint Pen list

COLORED BALLPOINT PENS AND REFILLS

I’m posting 55 major ballpoint pen or refill names that are on the marketplace. There are many different colored pen packages or refills within this list. I’ve been on the WWW from the year 2000 therefore realize ballpoint pen artists are having difficulties locating oil based ballpoint pen. This list will certainly help people locate new materials to work with.
